Jones: Tony Romo won’t sit
What happened: Here it is again, in gif form!
The big story in Big D isn’t the almost two-month-losing-streak, however, but the human garbage they’re employing. As for claiming the division, they have a good chance of that as well. “He is a great leader, great player”. The Eagles converted a fourth-and-1 near midfield to keep the drive alive, and then Bradford hit Jordan Matthews with a 41-yard touchdown pass on the next play when rookie safety Byron Jones slipped in coverage.
The Cowboys will just consider 2015 a lost season.
“Being more of a student of the game”, Graham told NJ Advance Media Wednesday was the biggest change he has made this season. That’s exactly why, when the Cowboys miss the playoffs, Hardy won’t be invited back next year. Those are three extraordinarily winnable games, and the Eagles really can’t afford to drop any one of them.

When quarterback Tony Romo threw an interception that sealed a NFC Divisional Round playoff loss to the NY Giants in 2007, he’s not clutch, they declared.
Bryant has not suffered any setbacks from his foot injury from earlier in the season and even with his limited participation in practice, Bryant should be fine for Week 10. The Cowboys do still have two games against the Redskins, though, and presumably they could have Romo back for both. It is one of the few weak spots on the defense and on the team. Back to football. This past Sunday in Foxboro, you had the most offensive, disturbing, self-celebrating, low-class franchise in sports. Considering that fact, the Cowboys kept all of those games close to the vest except their 30-6 loss to the defending world champions. The NY Giants and Philadelphia Eagles look to me like they are the two stronger teams. Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters was out, so Lane Johnson moved over from right tackle and deep bench lineman Dennis Kelly came in and shined, especially in the run game. Would anyone be surprised if Belichick was in on the FanDuel insider trading scandal? “He’s not Jesus, you know? We’re anxious about next week when we get there with him coming back”.
It is not mathematically over in Dallas, but an 0-6 record in the team’s first six games without Romo is worse than even the harshest Dallas critics could have envisioned. If you did, you’re probably one of those fans. Nobody needs to be reminded how many times owner and general manager Jerry Jones has seen his job approval come under fire.
It is fitting that it was a nuance Graham picked up reviewing the film of the Eagles Week 2 loss to the Cowboys that inspired him to make the change just in time for the rematch against Smith last Sunday night.
What’s next: vs. Saints, @ Carolina, vs. NY Giants. As we mentioned before, this is a Cowboys team that continues to find ways to lose. That score was inflated by the fact that Rex Ryan’s squad took 17 penalties in that game, but hey, a win is a win, right?
Naturally, there’s a bit of anticipation for his likely start next week at Miami, even if that means peeking past Sunday’s visit to Tampa Bay (3-5).
Realistically, no one at Valley Ranch is thinking this way, least of all Romo himself. Eli Manning has a new favorite target – Odell Beckham, Jr. – but a healthy Cruz could be a spark. He can only help a team that’ll be playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Here’s to another year of red-noses, puzzled looks, and the public-shaming of punters!
The Eagles (4-4) are also in the mix so Cowboys fans should root for the Dolphins along with the Patriots this week. For the most part they’ve been competitive.
Not much has really changed.
The Giants will face a tough second half slate. You’ll know that they didn’t win it for you.
Am I predicting an NFC East title?
